Participants in the 1998 Run- Through-Redlands just moments from the start of the run. During the past fourteen years the run has become the biggest in the Inland Area, attracting runners of all ages from through out Southern California.  The run features a T.A.C. Certified 5K, 10K, and Half-Marathon.

Over the years the event has attracted strong participation by families groups, many with young children.  In 1992 the course was re-certified to move the finish line to the area of the Redlands Bowl.  This change allowed for an outdoor expo and post event activities participants and their families enjoy.
      

Held at the end of April, running conditions are nearly always ideal, with cool starting temperatures.  Much of the course is over tree lined streets past the many interesting old victorian homes and affording a unique glimpse of the community.

In celebration of the 15th Anniversary of the Run, two new events have been added this year:  A 2k Run-For-Fun, and a 2K Team Relay.  In addition to the Outdoor Expo that has been held in recent years, there will be a special Indoor Expo starting on Friday April 24th and continuing through Saturday April 25th that will feature running sports and health & fitness related displays by vendors and service/care providers.  

Not just for competitive runners, the event has attracted family partici- pation and many spectators. The Kinder Dash has been a favorite for the youngsters who get in the spirit watching the big people having fun

JoAnn Bhem {1:37:45} won the women's 1/2 Marathon edging out Cynara Cooper.  Interesting to many was that JoAnn was accompanied by her boyfriend, world class miler Steve Scott, in her bid for the win in this event.
